7. Principal admits individual grades don't matter, only the standardized test at end of course.

But the principal of the Tennessee Virtual Academy noted that, ultimately, the school's success or failure will be judged based on the standardized tests that students take at the end of the year -- not on individual grades.

That's at least being honest, right? Like why should kids bother to work hard and study because only the test at the end matters.

That's what is happening in public schools. Why bother to keep grade books? Why hours of grading papers that won't matter that much at the end?

That's not learning.
